HA! I had that bike!!! traded a friend for the flat bar + shifters for his drop bar / shifters... same bike... it was awesome... no reason to get rid of the bike! talk to co-ops and lbs, see if someone has some old drop bar shifters and drop bar... perhaps someone wants to trade... I loved my roma once I made that swap, else pick up a Felt F5 (paid $1999 for mine)
